Due to the popularity of our courses, it is not feasible for us to provide specific deadlines by which you must meet your offer conditions. Instead, we will confirm places to offer-holders on a first-come, first-served basis. It is therefore strongly recommended that you meet the academic conditions of your offer as soon as possible. Once you have met all academic conditions you will have to pay your deposit as the last condition to secure your place on your course.

If your course is full when you meet the conditions of your offer, you will be offered the next available intake for your course or offered a refund of your deposit. During the application process, we will keep our intakes page to date with course availability and we recommend that you check this page regularly to see the status of your course

We recently reviewed our Pearson's English PTE requirements, as such, from the June 2024 intake onwards, our minimum Pearson's PTE requirement has increased to being: 64 Overall with no less than 59 in any of the components (reading, writing, speaking, or listening).

Any applicants or offer holders (conditional or unconditional), for the June 2024 intake onwards, who have scored less than the new requirement (64 with no less than 59) will need to undertake an alternative English language test before we can issue their unconditional offer or CAS. See the full list of accepted English language qualifications.
